One of the most formal welcome ceremony i've ever seen i must say. Very impressive. I've noticed a (diamonds?) canadian leaf brooch on the Duchess: a nice gesture. TRH seem very at ease and in good spirit.

ST. JOHN’S-The Prince of Wales and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall were welcomed to Canada on Monday night by nearly 2,000 happy Newfoundlanders, who roared with approval as the royal couple walked a red carpet into a hockey arena in downtown St. John’s.

This is Charles' 15th trip to Canada. "That is, by any measure, something rather special. But more special still, if I may say so, is the opportunity to introduce my wife to Canada for her first-ever visit

Happy endings are for storybooks, not real life. But when Prince Charles arrives in Canada on Nov. 2 with his wife, Camilla, duchess of Cornwall, few Canadians can doubt that something like this has happened to their future king. Not long ago, Charles and the woman dubbed “the Rottweiler” by his then-wife incurred such global disapproval that even his mother had to keep him at arms’-length. Now their first visit as a couple puts the seal of approval on a union that has changed his life.

The Prince also paid tribute to the nation's sacrifices on the battlefield, the warmth and generosity of its people, and how it is tackling the challenges of the modern world.
His comments were made during a welcoming ceremony held last night in the remote coastal city of St John's in Newfoundland and Labrador

I feel sorry for them being out in the cold. Where I am in Ontario, we were having mild weather, but today...it suddenly turned cold and there's snow in the forecast. I was planning on attending the Remembrance Day ceremony at the War Memorial in Ottawa next Wednesday, and apparently Charles and Camilla are going to be there, so I may catch a glimpse of them.

Another article reveals that a new documentary entitled After Elizabeth II: Monarchy in Peril is to be aired in Canada -- basically stating that Charles on the throne may mean the end of the monarchy for them. Oh my... it's sad that people insist on making Charles and Camilla so unpopular despite their best efforts.
